Johann Gerhard (1582-1637) has long been recognized as one of the greatest Lutheran theologians. Indeed, no other theologian of the Age of Lutheran Orthodoxy (1580-1713) had as significant of a role in promoting faithful study of God's Word. Gerhard's erudition and piety are reflected in works of profound benefit to the Church. Gerhard's"Annotations on the Revelation of St. John the Theologian" had not yet been published at the time of his death; Gerhard's son, Johann Ernst Gerhard (1621-1668), oversaw the publication of many of his father's works, including this 1643 edition of the "Annotations." Rev. Paul A. Rydecki's translation of the "Annotations" is the first published English translation of this important book. It is the twelfth volume from Gerhard's works to be published by Repristination Press. It is the seventh volume of Rev. Rydecki's translations from the writings of Aegidius Hunnius and Johann Gerhard.
Excerpt from Annotations on the Revelation of St. John the Divine The aim of the writer has been to follow the clear teaching of Scripture, and he has sought everywhere to interpret the prophecies here recorded, concerning the Second Coming of Christ and the events of the Last Day, in the same way and spirit in which the New Tes tament writers interpret the prophecies in the Old Testament concerning the Messiah and His First Advent. After repeated study of all the Old Testament quotations found in the New Testament, the writer can come to no other conclusion than this, that the Book of Revelation bears the same relation to the Christian Church to-day as the prophecies of Daniel, Ezekiel, and Zechariah did to the Jewish Church after the Exile, and that if we interpret the Apocalypse in the same spirit as Christ and the writers of the New Testament interpreted these prophecies of the Old Testament, we cannot fall greatlv into error. Incorrect as many of the expositions given in these notes possibly may be, still the writer believes that in this direction alone the truth is to be found.
